Step 7: Recap
Yesterday we got to grips with fermented foods, learning that they’re a powerhouse for your gut and overall health.
By introducing good bacteria (probiotics) to your gut, they help balance digestion, detoxify harmful substances like sugar, alcohol, and pesticides, and work to reduce the harmful effect of toxins that drag your body down.
The result? Better energy, sharper focus, improved sleep, and a boost in fat loss when paired with the right nutrition and exercise.
Key Benefits of Fermented Foods:
Gut Health: They populate your gut with friendly bacteria, aiding digestion and improving nutrient absorption.
Detoxification: Help your liver process and eliminate toxins like plastics, pesticides, and xenoestrogens.
Craving Control: A healthier gut reduces sugar cravings and supports balanced energy levels.
Overall Wellness: Supports your immune system, brain health, and even helps with stress management.
Examples of Fermented Foods to Add to Your Diet:
Kimchi, Sauerkraut, Pickles, Apple Cider Vinegar, Kefir, Probiotic Yoghurt, Miso, Tempeh, Brine-Cured Olives
These are easy to find and can be added as tasty, low-calorie sides to meals. But fair warning—your gut might take time to adjust (hello, trumpy bum).
Takeaway: Fermented foods are a simple, game-changing addition to your nutrition. They set the stage for better digestion, improved energy, and long-term health.
If you want to feel better, look better, and live better, get some fermented foods on your plate.
Alright mate, that’s Step 7 wrapped.
